Work

I work in the pasta and pizza restaurant. I always think many dishes are very delicious, so I am hungry. The shop owner is very kind and interesting, so I feel like enjoy. The shop is the best fun in I have worked all places.

And I did not think working is fun, because working felt so hard. For example, I worked in restaurant, and the restaurant was so busy. Specially, the restaurant was so busy on Saturday and Sunday, so I did not have a free day. I was so tired, and I cannot patient the job. So I quited the job in half a year. And I worked in convenience store, the job was so easy. But I got tired easily, so I quited the job in a year.

So I think I want to precious that I have the job, and I want to continue my job. I want to eat pasta and pizza someday.

BR 1-15: The Old Woman who swallowed a Fly (Kate Davies, 2008)



Review

This story is about an old woman. She swallowed someone else, for example, a fly, a spider, a bird, a cat, a dog, a goat, a cow and a horse. She wanted to swallow which see a fly, so she swallowed many things. Finally, her stomache was so big, but she did not die. One day, she swallowed a horse, so her stomache is too big and she could not stand. So she dead, of course.

I thought this story is strange, because the old woman swallowed many animals and insects. And, I thought she is so horrible because she did not die easily. So this story was interesting for me.

My favorite singers

I like listening to music. My favorite singer is Arashi and One Direction, Taylor Swift. Arashi is so cool and interesting. and, their concert is so fun and exciting. My mother likes them, too, so we always go to the concert together. They are popular in Japan, so the concert's goods lane is so long. When I was a junior high school student, I liked them. So I always impress their concert. I wish they continue to sing ever.




One Direction and Taylor Swift are great voice and song, so their song makes me happy. I went to One Direction' s concert last November. My seat was so far to them, so I could not see them. But I could enjoy so much, and I sang with them. So I was so excited. I went to Taylor Swift' s concert, too. She was so cute, her song was so good. I impressed who she was in front of me, and I enjoyed her concert so much. I want to go to their concert again.








In this November, Arashi' s concert will be held. I want to go to the concert, but the tickets of their concert can not get easily. So I ever want to go to the concert this year because I could not go to their concert. So I will do many good things.

BR 1-11: Superdog (Roderick Hunt, 1993)

Everyone said, "This dog really is superdog".



Review

This story is about a dog, the dog' s name is Floppy. Floppy lived with Kipper and Biff, Chip. One day, they watched a tv show. The program' s name is "Dog of the Year Show", so they were so excited because there were many excellent dogs on tv program. And they began to train Floppy like the excellent dogs, but Floppy wanted to sleep. They went to swimming school, so Floppy could sleep well at last. Floppy has dreamed to become a superman, for example, saved a baby and grabbed a thief, held a boy and dogs. So Floppy became a charmer, and Floppy called everyone "SUPERMAN". But Floppy was woken up by Biff, so Floppy returned to reality. And they said Floppy to run off again, so Floppy ran into the park and hid inside a giant pipe. Floppy will be not able to become a superman into reality.

Floppy takes after my dog because my dog cannot do anything, too. So I felt Floppy is so cute, and I like Floppy. Also this story was interesting. If my dog is a superman, I am so glad, but I thought my dog is so cute that is not superman.
